​Whenever you visit a website you leave a digital trail. Advertisers and marketing companies often collect your personal information using bits of code called "cookies." Then they use your personal information to build a profile of you in order to display ads targeted to what they think your interests are. You can control this activity to some extent by managing your cookie settings in your browser. See our new fact sheet on Targeted Advertising and Cookies for some helpful advice on how to do just that.
